I'd strongly urge you to consider a more structured and controlled environment for annotations. Ideally, I think an OAuth app must register a namespace, or subscribe to an existing namespace of another app, before it can create annotations in that namespace. And these registrations and

right now, i could send out a whole bunch of tweets with crappy yfrog URLs (that all return 404s). to end users, again, it seems like yfrog is a bad service. i mean, you have good points - and i hear all of them - its not something we are going to with for now, but i totally understand

This is a great idea for how to bootstrap and fuel the adoption and consensus on namespaces and key names. I'm going to talk to our analytics team and see if we can surface analytics on the most used namespaces and those namespace's most used keys. On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Jaanus

I think this will be a great addition to the platform. I suppose it will be up to each software client to determine how (classic) retweets are handled. The annotations could be copied and edited. I assume new retweets will simply reference the original tweet and its annotations. On Fri, Apr
